Chapter 36: He Regrets

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lu Feichi felt that it was normal for Bo Jingshen to fall silent for a moment.

Although the other classmates didn’t know, as Bo Jingshen’s roommate, they were considered close friends in Hai City.

They were aware of what had happened between him and Su Lu at that time, and it had caused quite an unpleasant situation.

Moreover, it wasn’t pleasant to hear either, his girlfriend had dumped him and married someone else.

Any man would feel embarrassed in that situation.

Over the past few years, Lu Feichi, Luan Siyuan, and Rong Yu had all contemplated whether Bo Jingshen had distanced himself from them precisely because of this incident.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to bring up that topic,” Lu Feichi said.

Bo Jingshen shook his head lightly. “It’s okay. She’ll be here soon.”

Su Lu had initially agreed to come to the class reunion with him, but the project team members probably wanted to apologize to her, so they immediately decided to arrange the venue to be at Kaibin.

So, Su Lu went to meet with the project team members for a while and had a few bites before coming down to join him for the class reunion.

“Are you still together?” Lu Feichi asked.

Bo Jingshen pondered for a moment and nodded. “I suppose so.”

“Back then, we were all quite angry about that incident. We felt it wasn’t fair for you. You were such a good young man, clearly full of potential. Why did she treat you that way, like a reaper?” Lu Feichi’s voice still carried a hint of indignation.

Bo Jingshen chuckled softly. He couldn’t get past the reaper, right?

“However, afterward…” Lu Feichi hesitated.

“What’s wrong?” Bo Jingshen looked at him. For some reason, he seemed to have a hunch that what Lu Feichi was going to say next would be very important.

Bo Jingshen even restrained his faint smile.

“Discussing this would be meaningless if you had already broken up with her. But since you’re still together, I’ll speak up,” Lu Feichi continued.

“When you left in such a hurry and suddenly secured that exchange student spot, you went abroad swiftly. After that, we couldn’t contact you, so we couldn’t tell you.”

“After you left, she visited again.”

Lu Feichi’s memories went back to five years ago.

He, Luan Siyuan, and Rong Yu had always been in a good relationship with Bo Jingshen.

Although Bo Jingshen wasn’t a warm and outgoing person, he was a pretty good person.

Therefore, when Bo Jingshen went through such an ordeal and Su Lu appeared again, the three of them naturally didn’t have a good attitude toward Su Lu.

Because Bo Jingshen left in a hurry, he didn’t take many things with him. And before departing, he had practically left everything related to Su Lu behind.

He had carefully placed them in a cardboard box, implying that he wanted his roommates to handle them for him.

However, there were some things inside that were not worthless. The three of them did not know what to do with them, so they kept them there.

Until Su Lu appeared, their tempers also flared up, as if they had finally found someone to direct their anger towards.

Especially Rong Yu, who had a bad temper. When he was on good terms with you, he would help you with anything. However, once you crossed his limit, he wouldn’t consider your feelings or whether you would be upset.

“I felt that since she was a girl, we shouldn’t make things too ugly. Just let her take the things and be done with it. But Rong Yu disagreed, and Siyuan couldn’t hold him back. As for me… well, I was also quite angry. After all, we had planned to start a career together, but she treated you in such a way that made you just walk away without a trace. I didn’t stop Rong Yu.”

Bo Jingshen remained silent, quietly listening.

The scene from that time almost played out in front of his eyes, Su Lu coming alone to face the three roommates who wanted to stand up for him.

“So, that box of things was originally placed in your cabinet, but Rong Yu got angry and threw it into the trash station. You know about our school’s trash station…”

It was a huge campus, and all the trash in the trash cans would be piled there. It was big and dirty.

“And then?” Bo Jingshen’s voice had a slightly distant tone.

Lu Feichi continued, “Then Rong Yu told her that the things had been thrown away at the trash station. I was also angry, and I didn’t choose my words carefully. I think I said something like, she doesn’t even want you anymore, so why does she need these things? Who is she trying to impress? It’s all an act…”

Lu Feichi let out a sigh. “I swear, I’ve never said anything mean to a girl before. This was the first time. She didn’t say anything at the time and just left. But it bothered me a bit. Later in the evening, Rong Yu and Siyuan went out for dinner, and after thinking it over, I decided to go to the trash station…”

Lu Feichi pressed his lips together, his words coming out with some difficulty.

Bo Jingshen leaned forward slightly, his head lowered, and his elbows resting on his knees, hands interlocked and pressed against his forehead.

A wave of subtle pain washed over his heart.

Back then, he was not the one causing harm, but the one being harmed.

However, even after hearing all this, he couldn’t help but feel heartbroken for the person who had caused the harm.

“She came to find us in the afternoon, around one or two o’clock. I went to the trash station during dinner, and she was still there, searching. Sigh… If she was acting… there were no onlookers, so who was she putting on a show for? If I hadn’t had a sudden idea to check the trash station, no one would have known that she had been rummaging through it for so long just to find your things.”

“If she still had feelings for you, why did she treat you like that? Really…”

Lu Feichi couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

Then, as if Lu Feichi had remembered something, he suddenly said, “Oh, right.”

Lu Feichi said, “She seemed to have suffered a serious injury at that time. I don’t know if she had an accident. I couldn’t say for sure, and I didn’t ask. But she didn’t look good.”

Bo Jingshen’s head, which had been hanging, suddenly lifted.

The slight redness in his eyes hadn’t dissipated yet, but his gaze was already deep and cold. “What did you say?”

“It was only a month after you guys broke up. She was so skinny. Rong Yu unhappily said, ‘Those who didn’t know better would think she was the one who got dumped.’ She looked emaciated.”

“However, although she was thin when she was in front of us, we couldn’t see any signs of injury. When I went to the trash station to take a look, I realized she was limping when she walked. One of her hands wasn’t very agile either. When she was rummaging through the trash station, she rolled up her sleeve. That’s when I saw her arm in a splint.”

Bo Jingshen pursed his lips tightly.

Lu Feichi didn’t see the storm brewing in his eyes and continued, “It should have been an accident, right? Those who didn’t know better would think someone had hit her. Her exposed arms were covered in bruises, which was quite scary.”

In the past five years, Bo Jingshen had never regretted leaving.

This was the only time he regretted leaving so hastily.

He had no idea what had happened after that.

At that moment, the private room’s door was suddenly pushed open. A beautiful little face peeked in. Her expression was a little reserved and helpless. Her clear eyes scanned the room and soon landed on Bo Jingshen.

Her clear eyes suddenly lit up.
